Richards Pizza

495 Nilles Rd, Fairfield, OH 45014

While called Richards pizza the real star of the show is the Famous Steak Sandwich. They actually ship them across the country every holiday season because they are so good. The sandwich itself is a steak hoagie consisting of a steak patty, not steak-umms, with thinly sliced sweet Spanish onions, crispy pickles, with Richards own sauce which is perfectly garlicly, on a warm, buttered Italian or Whole Wheat bun. You can also add cheese, or use pizza sauce instead of the sauce. Anyway you order it you will understand the love.

Lords Sushi

(513) 870-0067

6679 #G, Dixie Highway, Fairfield, OH 45014

A friendly little Korean owned sushi joint tucked away in a mini mall. The inside is updated in a modern and beautiful style, the prices are low, the sushi is fantastic, and the wait staff is extremely friendly and provides outstanding service. The only downside is they do not serve alcohol, but that is far from a deal breaker. This is the kind of place that once you visit you will feel like you found a hidden gem that no one else knows exists. Be sure to try the Spider roll, Playboy roll, and the Delta Force Roll.

Eli's Sports Bar & Grill

(513) 738-3547

3825 Kraus Ln, Fairfield, OH 45014

Eli's is a good place to watch the game with a group of friends, as long as you know their formula for ordering. To prepare you here is a run though, you don't order from your table but rather you place your food order up front before sitting, then you order your beer or cocktails separately from the bar. It's a bit of a leaning curve but easy to get used to. Standard bar & grill fare, the star of the show are their chicken wings that are double dipped for an extra crispiness.
